MEMO
CITY OF PLYMOUTH
3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447
DATE: October 11, 1988
TO: City Manager James G. Willis
FROM: Community Development Director Blair Tremere
SUBJECT: Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for Hennepin
County Transfer Station
Mr. James Sentmen called Frank Boyles and me on Monday expressing concern
about information he had received regarding the status of this environmental
study which is being conducted by the Metropolitan Council. He told me when I
contacted him on Tuesday, that he had heard from Mr. Brian Marks, a Plymouth
businessman, who told him there would be hearings in November and those
hearings were scheduled in the City of Minneapolis and in the City of Brooklyn
Park. His concern was that none was scheduled for the City of Plymouth even
though the intent of the law is to have public informational hearings for
persons interested in the action.
You had a call from Mr. Marks on Monday expressing much the same concern and I
called Mr. Wayne Nelson of the Metropolitan Council Staff on Monday who
confirmed those "tentative" locations.
Tuesday's mail (there was no delivery on Monday) brought the same information
to my attention. that Mr. Marks apparently received in Saturday's mail. I have
attached a copy of that information.
Included is the notice that the Metropolitan Waste Management Advisory
Committee was meeting at 2:00 p.m. the same day to discuss the preliminary
SEIS and to confirm the staff recommendation, including the scheduling of the
informational hearings during Thanksgiving week at a Minneapolis location and
at the Hennepin County Vo -tech School on County Road 18 in Brooklyn Park.
I attended that Committee Meeting and following the staff presentation which
essentially reiterated the written material attached to this memorandum, I
spoke to the -possibility of having another hearing site (preferably in
Plymouth) or of finding a different site in lieu of the Brooklyn Park location°
that would be more convenient to Plymouth residents (as well as Brooklyn., -Park,
residents) and possibly more "neutral".
This suggestion was not viewed favorably by the Committee and brief discussion
was generated. The Chairman felt that the important thing was to establish
"reasonable" hearing sites and to assure that due notice was given so that
interested parties could address the issues before the Committee, regardless
of location. A member of the Committee, whose name I do not know, agreed with
the Chairman and indicated that the important thing was to "have a facility
with plenty of seating and parking" that could "comfortably accommodate" many
people as would be interested - "even if, by accident, the site happened to. -be:
in Brooklyn Park." Other comments she offered about traffic concerns and
whether communities to the North and West of Brooklyn Park would be notified
suggested that she must represent that area.
I talked to Wayne Nelson after the meeting and he suggested that finding
another site would tend to "dilute" the attendance by Committee Members and
that it would be important to have as many Committee Members at each meeting
as possible. He also mentioned that the timing was "tough" because of the
Thanksgiving holiday. He did not suggest that other sites would be impossible
to secure for a hearing and he did not seem, at least from a staff
perspective, opposed to having one. By that time, however, the Committee had
voted (with one absention from Luther Nelson of Hennepin County) to endorse
the recommendation in the Staff Report.
There were several noteworthy comments made, primarily by staff, in response
to questions from Committee Members:
1. The impact upon the Community will be minimal.
2. There is little if any ground water problem or potential problem.
3. The traffic levels at County Road 6 and I-494 will be of a comparable
service level (B) whether there is a Waste Transfer Station or not.
4. Assessors in each of the Communities where contacted and reported that
the "Waste Transfer Station would have little if any adverse economic
impact upon surrounding properties in the long run."
5. Fire and Police Officials in each Community were contacted and indicated
that there would be "little if any extraordinary demand placed on
manpower or equipment" by the Waste Transfer Stations.
6. The County has, according to Luther Nelson (a Committee member who is a
County staff member), purchased the Plymouth site but expects to proceed
with condemnation on the Brooklyn Park site in 1989. Most of the
Minneapolis site has been acquired but some additional land is needed and
may have to be condemned.
7. Disposal of household/hazardous waste and disposal of yard waste were not
considered in the original environmental impact statement (EIS); these do
represent new issues that were not previously considered in the
evaluation of the earlier sites (none of which were in Plymouth).
Copies of the draft SEIS were available for Committee Members if they
requested them; copies of the Public Hearing version will be available to the
public and sent to identified interested parties later this month.
This matter, including the scheduling of the informational hearings is still
in the review and consideration process by the Metropolitan Council. The
attached information indicates that the next consideration will be by the
Environmental Resources Committee on Wednesday, October 19, 1988 at 2:00 p.m.
The Metropolitan Council itself will consider the matter on Thursday, October
27, 1988 at 4:00 p.m.
Should the location of the Public Information Hearing Site be further
contested? I anticipate that staff attention will be directed to the findings
of the SEIS and I think the pursuit of an issue regarding the location of the
Public Hearing should only be reflective of City Council direction. If we
throw all our light on that issue, we may tend to cast a dimmer light upon the
more substantive matters identified during our review of the SEIS document.

SUBJECT: Release Of The Hennepin County Transfer Station SEIS
A draft supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) has been prepared
for changes in the proposed transfer station network to manage solid waste in
Hennepin County. The scoping decision specified the issues and information to
be addressed in the study. It was issued by the Council on March 249 1988, and
amended to include a Brooklyn Park site on July 14, 1988. The draft SEIS was
prepared for the Council by a consultant team. The prime contractor was Barton-
Aschman Associates, Inc. and the subcontractors were Lynne Bly and Associates,
Inc. and Barrientos & Associates, Inc.
Environmental Quality Board (EQB) rules require that an informational meeting
be held not less than 15 days after publication of a notice of draft SEIS
availability in the EQB'Monitor. The public comment period must remain open
for 10 days after the public meeting (until December 12).
Two informational meetings have tentatively been scheduled as follows:
Tuesday, November 229 19889 7:00 pm.
Hennepin Technical Institute - Main Auditorium
9000 Brooklyn Blvd.
Brooklyn Park, MN
Monday, November 289 19889 7:00 pm.
Stewart Park Multipurpose Meeting Room

For purposes of Council review prior to public release of the document, an
executive summary including a title page and table of contents is being
distributed to Advisory Committee and Council members. Full copies of the 200
page preliminary draft document will be provided if requested. Handling
preliminary distribution on this basis saves about a $10 per copy reproduction
cost and minimizes the copies distributed before final editing of the official
release document.

ABSTRACT: Hennepin County has proposed changes in the transfer station portion
of its Resource Recovery Project which was the subject of an EIS determined
adequate July 10, 1986. The changes that are the subject of this supplemental
EIS are new sites replacing initial plans for locations in Brooklyn Park,
Hopkins, and Minneapolis. The new sites studied are in Brooklyn Park, Plymouth
and Minneapolis. Two additional alternative locations in Plymouth are also
included. The SEIS describes and evaluates the proposed transfer stations. It
analyzes geology and soils, surface runoff, land use and zoning,
transportation, noise, solid waste system impacts, utilities, local community
impacts, wasteshed implications, aesthetics and cultural resources, and flora
and fauna. Written comments on the draft SEIS are due December 12, 1988 and
should be sent to the Council's SEIS project manager indicated above. Public
meetings are scheduled on November 22 and 282 1988.

Publication No. 521-88098
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) evaluates the impact
of transfer station development at sites in Brooklyn Park, Plymouth and
South Minneapolis. The proposed project involves the construction of a
building of approximately 729000 square feet at each of the three sites
together with appurtenant roads, utility systems and landscaping. It is
estimated that on an average day in the year 2000, 350 to 550 tons of
municipal solid waste will be delivered to the Brooklyn Park facility and
1400 to 700 tons each to Minneapolis South and Plymouth. Delivery will be
made in five -ton compactor vehicles. These deliveries will require up to
2140 truck trips per day at the Brooklyn Park facility and 280 trips at
Minneapolis South and Plymouth. After screening, waste will be unloaded
from the trucks directly into a pit area, compacted, and loaded out to 20 -
ton transfer trailers. As many as sixty (60) transfer trips will occur
daily at Brooklyn Park and 70 at Minneapolis South and Plymouth. The
buildings will also have special provisions for drop-off of recyclable
materials, yard waste, and household hazardous waste. Although an exact
schedule has not been developed, all of the proposed stations are expected
to be operational by the middle of 1990.
2.0 LOCATIONAL ALTERNATIVES
In the development of the county's solid waste management system, a number
of alternative sites have been studied. These, together with the No Build,
are documented in the 1985/1986 Resource Recovery Project EIS. No
additional reasonable alternatives have been identified for the Minneapolis
South site. The original EIS addressed a Brooklyn Park site and an
alternative. No additional alternatives were required for this SEIS. Two
additonal alternatives to the Plymouth site were included in the
supplemental study: the Workhouse Industrial Site off of Niagara Lane and
the County Road 15/1-494 site. The SEIS concluded that transfer station
operation at the Workhouse Industrial site will result in a perceptible
increase in the "before" to "after" noise levels near the Parkers Lake
Business Center. The following Alternative Summary Table presents the
results recorded in the 1985/86 Resource Recovery Project EIS together with
the impacts identified from the current (1988) supplemental analysis.
3.0 GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS
Governmental approvals for transfer station development will be needed from
the local communities of Brooklyn Park, Minneapolis and Plymouth; local
watershed management organizations, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency,
Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities, Minnesota Department of Health, and
Hennepin County. These approvals include conditional use permits to meet
local zoning and land use requirements, review of grading and storm water
management plans, and permits that pertain to design and operation of the
transfer facility itself.
4.1 GEOLOGY AND SOILS
The major issue examined was the potential for groundwater contamination.
The transfer station EAW (Metropolitan Council, 1987) had concluded that
releases of contaminants could pose the same risk to area groundwater

between the CR 6/I-494 interchange and the TH 55/I-494 interchange, no
merging or weaving problems are anticipated.
In addition to level of service, the site traffic impacts were also measured
from the standpoint of increased delays that a motorist might experience at
intersections serving each site. It was found for the Brooklyn Park and
Plymouth sites that the average increase in delay at the affected
intersections will be less than two seconds on average. For Minneapolis
South, the worst case increase (at Hiawatha Avenue and 28th Street) will be
3.2 seconds. These are not considered to be significant increases.
Sight distance provides a measure of whether drivers traveling at posted
speed limits will have adequate reaction time to come to a complete stop, if
necessary, to allow merging maneuvers from minor roadways or site access
roads. Sight distances were compared to the standards established by the
Institute of Transportation Engineers. In all cases it was found that sight
distances at proposed site access driveways were adequate for safe
operations.
4.5 NOISE
At all of the noise receptor locations analyzed, noise levels will increase
because of the operational noise of the proposed transfer stations and
because of the increased vehicular traffic (mostly trucks) on the main
access roadways serving the transfer stations. At most noise receptor
locations, the MPCA daytime noise standards are not exceeded after the
transfer stations are in operation and the increases from the "before" to
"after" conditions are imperceptible or barely perceptible. At receptor 2
for the Brooklyn Park site and at receptor 1 for the Minneapolis site, the
MPCA standards are exceeded in the "before" and "after" conditions but the
noise increases will be imperceptible. Only at receptor 3 for the
Minneapolis South site and receptors 19 2 and 3 for the Plymouth Workhouse
Industrial site will the operation of the transfer station cause a
perceptible increase in the "before" to "after" noise levels. (Minneapolis
South receptor 3 is a cemetery and possibly not a NAC -1 land use category.
Less stringent state standards may therefore apply at this location.) At
all receptor locations, the increased traffic levels (due to the transfer
stations) cause negligible increases in the predicted noise levels.
4.6 SOLID WASTE SYSTEM IMPACTS
By the year 2000, the county's overall average waste generation rate per day
is expected to reach 29945 tons. The county's plans call for 20 percent of
its waste to be handled by recycling, waste reduction, or yard waste
composting projects by 1990. Permitted private resource recovery projects
in the county may use up to about 500 tons per day (TPD).
A significant function of the transfer station operation will be to receive
household hazardous wastes. For the SEIS, estimates of the quantities and
types of such materials were prepared based upon special cn a day collection
projects overseen by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). MPCA
experience suggests that 78 percent of the household hazardous wastes
delivered to the transfer stations will consist of used oil and paints.
Assuming a five percent participation rate in Hennepin County, 47 barrels of
oil and paint and 63 barrels of all types of materials will be delivered to
transfer stations weekly in 1990. Slightly higher quantities are projected
In summary, the proposed transfer stations should not have serious long-term
negative socioeconomic consequences for the communities in which they are
built.
4.9 WASTESHED ANALYSIS
Areas served by each transfer station and the HERC facility were determined
based on travel time and distance. The transportation methodology developed
for this analysis resulted in each transfer station being assigned a::
wasteshed based on travel time and weighted by the amount of waste. i
generated.
This methodology results in the assignment of wastesheds to transfer -
stations based on minimizing travel time and associated costs.
The reason a wasteshed analysis was conducted was to estimate, based on each
transfer station's wasteshed, the average waste each site would receive and
also as a check to ensure that the design capacity of the transfer stations
wouThe
sults of this
is
the facilitiesXeeededwould.re eiveequantities of wastesthatnwoulde that on
not be e of
exceed their
the
throughput capacity.
4.10 AESTHETICS AND HISTORICAL/CULTURAL RESOURCES
Aerial photographs (oblique views) were taken of each site. Sketches of the
transfer stations were superimposed on these aerials to place the. projects
within the context of adjacent land uses. In all eases p sensitive
residential areas will be buffered by intervening, less sensitive land uses
and site landscaping. Conditions that may be attached to the issuance of
conditional use permits at the sites may further minimize the potential for
negative aesthetic impacts. The general conformity of the projects with
planned industrial use for each site as well as existing industrial zoning
further suggests that aesthetic impacts will not be significant.
Communications with the Minnesota Historical Society have established that
none of the sites have known historical or cultural resources.
4.11 FLORA AND FAUNA
There are no significant ecological resources on any of the sites.

The Honorable Virgil Schneider
Mayor, City of Plymouth

Plymouth, MN 55447
Dear Mayor Schneider:
Less than five months ago, Dundee Nursery & Landscaping in
Plymouth burnt to the ground -on an early Saturday morning.
May 14 was the Fishing Opener, and that weekend historically
has been our number -one sales leader for the season.
By 1:30 p.m. on the same day of the fire, we were open for
business -- working out of a make -shift tent with temporary
cash registers. Despite the fire, our sales volume for the
day was a little over half of what we did in 1987.
We're happy to announce that Dundee Nursery is breaking
ground for a new retail garden center and landscape firm.
We'd like you to be our special guest at our ground-
breaking ceremony. Mark your calendar for Wednesday,
October 19 at 10:00 a.m.
Our store is located at 16800 Highway 55 in Plymouth. We
look forward to seeing you.
Sincerely,
Ray Sackter Jerry TXieis

SNOWMOBILE MEETING
S: 3
On October 5, 1988, I met with the following members of the Northwest Trails'Snow-
mobile Club at the Plymouth City Center:
Bob Ford
2. Wesley Kuss
3. Ken Sorenson
4. Jim Welsh
5. Charles Anders
The purpose of our meeting was to discuss the Northwest Trails' participation in a
city-wide program aimed at reducing or eliminating snowmobile complaints. Based upon
a study of the reported snowmobile complaints from last year, several locations were
noted on a Plymouth map to post with signs indicating "No Snowmobiling". The snow-
mobile club will be responsible for erecting these signs. In addition, during the
year if we get complaints in an area where there are no signs, they will see that they
are promptly posted.
It was decided that an active patrol by Northwest members would not take place until
we see patterns developing in the community. For instance, certain areas, days of
week. and time of day will be considered prior to designating a patrol by Northwest
members. However, copies of each and every complaint received on snowmobilers will be
sent to the current president of Northwest Trails, Bob Ford. The members at the
meeting on October 5th indicated that they would personally follow-up and talk with
the complainants to determine more information. This appeared to be a good approach
at this time in that the police patrol does not have the time to follow-through a day
or so after a complaint. Hopefully, we will be able to gain additional information
that will assist in further signing, establishing an active patrol, or identifying the
snowmobiler. In any event, this extra follow-through should be perceived in a
positive manner by our residents.
The following areas are things that I have to do in order to assist in the overall
strategy:
1. A letter and brochure describing the snowmobile rules and regulations will
be sent to residents who are on file with the Department of Natural Re
sources as an owner of a snowmobile: There are 1938 snowmobiles registered
in Plymouth. The letter would request voluntary self -compliance with the
ordinance and state statute regulating snowmobiling in Plymouth. The letter
would also explain the Northwest Trails participation in prevention,
education, and patrol authority.

SNOWMOBILE FILE

2. Last but not least, it was decided that as much publicity as possible should
be done to advertise our snowmobile enforcement intentions. To further this
end, examples such as Plymouth On Parade, local cable Channel 37, and local
papers, i.e. Plymouth Post, Wayzata Sailor, and the Wayzata Reader, should
have advance releases. Especially noteworthy should be the inclusion of the
Northwest Trails Snowmobile Club participation in our program. The assis-
tance of Helen LaFave will be sought to coordinate this publicity.

FROM: Frank Boyles, Assistant City Manager
S U BJ ECT ASSESSMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM FOR 1988
One of my performance objectives requires a written assessment of the
Communications Program by August 1, 1988.
We have made significant improvements in Plymouth's communications program
during the course of 1988. We have improved:
1. The look of our communication tools including cable TV channel 37.
2. Our interface with area media.
3. Our ability to conduct media blitzes.
4. Our capacity to create our own camera ready artwork.
Each of these objectives are part of the City Council approved 1988
Communications Plan. Examples of this years' accomplishments are shown
below.
1. Improved the Look of Communication Tools
Plymouth on Parade has been improved by using a second color and
switching to white paper to provide cleaner photos and more
contrast. We have changed the typestyle to enhance readability.
The fence permit publicity sheet was redone. The Plymouth Rock
Report, our employee newsletter, has been reformatted and expanded
in content. A -brochure has been produced explaining our recycling
program. Finally, we created a new park information brochure which
for the first time, describes all components of the Plymouth park
system. Cable channel 37 has improved from character generated
only to a mix of videotape and character generator. Five new
videotape subjects have been produced for inclusion on the
channel. We are using other videotape sources to air information
on Optiscan voting equipment, etc.
ASSESSMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM FOR 1988
September 6, 1988
Page 2
2. Improving Our Interface with Other Media
The frequency of our press releases has increased, covering
significant issues such as water restrictions, recycling drawings,
fire bans, and animal control. Helen has established an effective
ongoing relationship with reporters for local papers. She "ghost
writes" each City column carried in the Wayzata Weekly and for all
Twin West Chamber articles. The former column is brand new, while
the latter has been enhanced by assuring that we have an article
ready for each publication.
3. Ability to Conduct Media Blitzes
The water restrictions and animal control problems noted in the
residential survey necessitated a multimedia information blitz.
The Communications Coordinator was responsible for both efforts.
Significant media materials including flyers, warning process,
press releases, tv interview, standard letter for residents, and
cable tv character generated information were prepared for the new
water restrictions. Similar efforts were required for animal
control and for the new police/fire alarm ordinance.
4. Our Capacity to Create Camera Ready Artwork
We are now testing an upgraded version of "Pagemaker" software.
Assuming we are successful, Pagemaker will allow us to create
camera ready artwork in-house. This $800 software will pay for
itself many times over for our various publications.
5. New In -House Training Tools
The availability of video producers through the communications
program to enhance training efforts has been tested in various
areas. First, we have created a videotape dealing with trailer
hitch maintenance and operation. A videotape was done on Employee
Right to Know for the Safety Program. Videotape proved valuable in
training employees to enforce the sight intersection policy.
Videotape was used to train the public about how to recycle and
about the new sight intersection policy.
Conclusion
There is no question that our communications program has been significantly
enhanced over the past year as demonstrated by the above examples. Our
success is further demonstrated by other cities' imitation of our efforts.

Copies of our Communications Coordinator fob description, budget,
publications and videotapes have been requested by other cities. Helen was
asked to give a presentation at the last League of Minnesota Cities State
Conference on our comprehensive communications program.
For 1989 a Communications Plan has been prepared which dovetails with the
1989 Budget request to carry our communications efforts forward in the
coming year. I am attaching for information, detailed status reports Helen:

° TO: Dale E. Hahn, Director of Finance
FROM: Scott L. Hovet, City Assessor
SUBJECT: STATE BDARD OF EQUALIZATION ORDERED VALUE INCREASE ON
C IAL/INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATICNS
Commercial and Industrial property is measured across jurisdiction lines
(cities and counties) by the State of Minnesota through ratio studies. If a
minimurn standard with a median ratio of at least 90 percent is not met that
entire class of property is increased or decreased based upon the results of
that study.
There were 13 sales of commercial and industrial property that occurred from
October of 1986 through September of 1987 in Plymouth. It is the local
assessor's responsibility to verify each of the sales either through the
buyer, seller, or agent that has been represented on the Certificate of Real
Estate Value. If the criteria as set by the State of Minnesota is not met and
not deemed to be an arms length transaction, it can be eliminated from the
study. One of the criteria used for the elimination of a sale in the state
study is the sale of a business with the real estate portion of the business
sale being allocated. In other words, the "blue sky".or the value of the
business should be eliminated to arrive at a net sale price or net value of
the real estate. Two of these such sales have occurred in Plymouth.
The first one is the sale of the Minneapolis Auto Auction to General Electric
Credit Auto Auctions Inc. I contacted the appropriate parties, in this case
the buyer, and it was determined the sale of this property was the sale of the
business. It was never listed on the market nor was an appraisal secured.
The sale price of 3.2 million dollars after eliminating the contributions of
the buildings (being $700,000) leaves a net land value of approximately $2.30
per square foot. This is an extremely high price for land in that location
since it exceeds 24 acres in size.

STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION ORDERED VALUE INCREASE
ON CM1ERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATIONS
September 19, 1988
Page 2
By state criteria this is truly not an arms length sale. This sale also
included a covenant in excess of $300,000 where the seller Paul Ziltins agreed
to not start another company in the 7 county metro area to go into competition
with the business he sold for 5 years. This clearly is not an arms length
transaction.
J
Without the elimination of these two sales from the sales study it places,':
Plymouth's overall ratio at 89.7% which does not meet the 90% mu_nimtum. The
State of Minnesota Board of Equalization has mandated that
commercial/industrial property in Plymouth be increased 5%. The cities of
Bloomington and Edina are in similar situations.
This increase involves approximately 500 parcels and is not necessarily all
bad news. I believe since a small amount of parcels is affected, and I
believe that they are well equalized, the bottom line result is that the city
will realize an additional amount of revenue through its budgetary process.
This increase will also affect the amount of increment the city receives
through our tax increment financing districts. It is an ongoing process to
place market values on difficult commercial/industrial property to keep the
ratio barely over 90 in such a volatile and erratic market since so few sell
each year.
Each year the state modifies its methodology in the measurement of our values.
They have devised a method ]mown as an "inferred ratio" which we were not
aware of until the State Board of Equalization hearings began. Needless to
say, many city and county assessors were -caught by surprise and truly believe
it's difficult to play the game if you don't know the rules.

Our phenomenal growth continues to really shine in comparison to statistics of
other cities as was recently printed in the League's magazine October issue.
Table 1 on page 18 among other things compares population, city total values,
mill rates, contribution value, distribution value, and tax burden for the
property taxes payable in 1988 for all 93 metropolitan areas cities. These
cities all exceed 2,000 persons and all lie within the 7 county metro area.

In comparison with the other major cities, Plymouth's population remained in
the 7th position (in the top ten) this year in 19881 Our assessed value grew
from the 7th largest to the 6th largest City in Minnesota and our mill rate
remained the second lowest of any of the major cities in the metro area.
The average total local mill rate for all cities in -the metro area is 117.477.
The average city mill rate is 23.681. The highest mill rate award this year
goes to the city of Buhl up on the iron range with a population of 1,000
people and a total local mill rate of 310.0401

Property Tax Data
Prepared by the Minnesota Department of Revenue
Cities over 2,000
The payable 1988 property tax
data for cities over 2,000 popula-
tion is in two parts. The property
tax data for the seven metropolitan
counties (Anoka, Carver, Dakota,
Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and
Washington) is not directly
comparable to the non -
metropolitan counties as a result
of the Fiscal Disparities Law.
Table I pertains to the
metropolitan counties; Tables II
pertains to the 80 non -
metropolitan counties. If a city is
in two counties, one of which is
metro and one non -metro, the data
is under the county which has the
majority of the city's assessed
value.

The highest average mill rate in
the non -metropolitan cities was
234.731 mills in the city of
Ortonville. The lowest average
mill rate was 97.682 in the city of
Red Wing.
When reviewing the per capita
statistics for payable 1988, findings
show an average taxable value per
capita of $4,397. The range is from
a high of $28,204 in Monticello,
$15,177 in Red Wing (due to the
public utility plants in those cities),
and $6,875 in Rochester, to a low
of $1,504 in South International
Falls. The average per capita for
gross taxes levied is $630, with
highs of $2,807 in Monticello,
$1,527 in Red Wing and $959 in
Cambridge, and a low of $233 in
Sandstone. The average homestead
credit per capita is $132, with
highs of $270 in Chisholm, $255 in
Virginia, and $250 in Ely, and a
low of $50 in Sandstone. The high
average homstead credit in
Chisholm, Virginia, and Ely is due
to those cities receiving both the
54 percent homestead credit and
the taconite homestead credit.
Table I:
Metropolitan area
Table I gives information for the
93 metropolitan cities. It shows
the population, values, mill rates,
gross taxes, credits, and net tax
burden for property taxes payable
In 1988.
The population for each of the
93 cities is the latest Metropolitan
Council estimate, which represents
the population as of April 1, 1988.
17
The cities are in descending
population order. Following the
population the tables show five
values. The assessed value is first,
followed by the tax increment
value and contribution value
which, when subtracted from the
assessed value, give the taxable
value.
For those cities containing
power line assessed value, this
value is not shown separately but
has been subtracted to arrive at
the taxable value. The final value
is the fiscal disparity distribution
value. This value times the
governmental unit's payable 1987
mill rate yields its 1988 fiscal
disparity distribution tax. The
1988 distribution tax was
subtracted from the governmental
unit's payable 1988 tax levy to
determine its local levy. The local
levy divided by the taxable value
for local purposes yields the local
mill rate.
In many cities more than one
total mill rate exists, therefore the
mill rates for governmental
subdivisions are average rates. The
major local mill rate is the total
mill rate which applies to the
majority of value in the city.
The taxes shown by county, city,
school district, and special taxing
district pertain to the local levy on
local taxable value. The increment
levies are separate as well as
contribution levies. The contribu-
tion assessed value for taxes
payable in 1988 wasa taxed at the
area -wide rate of 118.812 mills.
The total tax burden'on all
property in a city is the sum of the
various levies plus the power line
levy if it exists for the city.
Table II:
Non -metropolitan area
The population cited for each of
the 126 cities in the non -
metropolitan counties on Table I1
is the most recent estimate as of
April 1, 1987. The cities are in
descending population order for
easy comparison of the data for
municipalities of similar size.
Table II contains the same
information for the non -
metropolitan cities as Table I
included for the metro cities. The
major difference is fiscal dis-
parities which applies only in the
seven -county metropolitan area.
Special taxing district levies on
Table II for the non -metropolitan
counties include levies for
watersheds, hospitals, housing and
redevelopment authorities, sanitary
sewer districts, port authorities,
transit commissions, and regional
development commissions.

Property taxes: Cities under 2,000
The property tax data on the
next few pages is for metropolitan
cities under 2,000 population.
Cities are listed alphabetically.
The first column gives the cities'
populations. The second column
lists the total assessed value for
each city. The third column gives
the total mill rate for the cities.
For cities that are in more than
one county or have more than one
taxing district, the mill rate is the
average for the city. To get the
average mill rate, the total levy is
divided by the total assessed value.
The fourth column lists the total
assessed value. The next four
columns list the levy totals for the
county, city, school district, and
special taxing districts. To get the
average mill rates for each
government unit, divide the unit's
levy by the total taxable value.
The next column gives the total
levy which includes any tax
increment financing, power line, or
fiscal disparities contribution levy
amounts.
The last two columns list the
total of all credits, and the net tax

STATUS REPORT ON CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGE
The law suit challenging the constitutionality of disparity �` , !,
reduction aid is moving ahead. Although the length of time each.,
legal step has taken has been slightly longer than expected, the.
background research and legal drafting is on schedule. This
memo will provide you with an update on this important
challenge.
The basis for the challenge is = the amount of dollars the
suburbs will receive in disparity aid versus the amount the Iron
Range receives. Although the difference in dollars is great,
the Legislature has the constitutional authority to distribute
state aid dollars using an unfair or inequitable -system. The
Legislature doesn't, however, have the constitutional right
distribute state dollars which would result in a
non-uniform property tax. The basis for this law suit is the
uniformity clause of Minnesota's Constitution.
Minnesota Constitution Article X, Section 1, reads in part:
"Taxes shall be uniform upon the same class of subiects
and shall be levied and collected for public
purposes ... 11
We are alleging in the law suit that Disparity Reduction Aid
does cause property taxes to be levied in a non-uniform manner
on the same valued home receiving identical services. I have
attached a hypothetical example of how this unconstitutional
distribution would occur under the disparity aid distribution
system.
The lawsuit was filed on August 3, 1988. the plaintiff is
Roseville resident Gary Blume. The suit alleges that Blume will
pay more in Ramsey County property taxes than a St. Paul
resident living in a home of equivalent market value and
receiving identical county services.
The Association of Metropolitan Municipalities passed a
resolution supporting the law suit on July 15, 1988. The
Association of Small Cities passed a s.imilar resolution on
September 24, 1988. There are now nearly 500 cities (out of
850) that are supporting the MLC effort.
The Office of the Attorney General, State of Minnesota,
intervened on behalf of Ramsey County on September 9, 1988.
Depositions are set for the first week in October. The law suit
will be transferred to the Minnesota Tax Court when we request a
trial date.-
= __ q
The chart below is the certified amount of Disparity Reduction
Aid different areas of the state will receive. These amounts
will be shared among all taxing jurisdictions.
Total All Suburbs and Metro Small Cities $ 61,999
Total Minneapolis/St. Paul 4,528,962
Total Statewide 561698,999
Total Metro Area 5,590,-96i
Total Non -metro Area 52,108,038
Total Taconite Area 13,385,641
Total Duluth 14,027,614
This means that for every $100 of disparity aid distributed, the
suburbs and small metro cities will receive 11 cents compared to
$91.90 to the non -metro area, $23.61 to the taconite area, and
$24.74 to Duluth.
on a per capita basis, the suburbs and small metro cities will
receive 4 cents versus $42.66 to the non -metro area, $149.55 to
the taconite area, and $420.75 to the City of Buhl.

138 Mills
Because Home 02-3 levy exceeds 128 mills, 4tate paid disparity aid is used
to -buy co -n- 10 mills. Lets assume the cost of this buydown is S200,000,
i.e., S20D.COO of disparity aid is sent to local units Of government
located in School District E to reCuce the total mill rate from 138 to 128.
The law requires that this buyCown be distributed to local unir
proportion to the total J*vy. _3 in
The City o! Smith, which levies 181 of the total levy of 138 mills, would
receive 18% 01 the disparity aid.
18% x S200,000 - $36,000
he County of Jones, which levies 271 of the total levy, vould-receive 271
of the disparity aid.
271 x S200,000 - $54,000.
School District E, which levies 55% of the total levy, would receive 55% of
the disparity aid.
55% x $200,000 - S110,000.
If the City Of Smith and the County of Jongs were authorized by statute to
spread this aid citywide and count"Ice, there would not be a
constitutional question. But the !&- require3 that the aid be spread only
in the portion of the City and county where the mill rate exceeds 128
mills, i.e., within the boundaries of School District E.
After the distribution of disparity aid, the effective tax rates (and
e�quivalent mill rates) would app-eax &3 illustrated below:

The constitutional argument will be that a person residing in a S68,000
a home 'A the City Of Smith would pay a nonuniform tax for identical city

The same Person wou ld also pay a nonuniform county tax __ S204.00 vs.
$183-60 for identical county services.
The same person would pay a Unll- school t ax, oven though the ainounts are

PLANNING FILE (87096)
Dear Mr. Foley:
C11TY O�
PLYMOUTR
As you are aware, Mayor, Virgil Schneider asked me to contact you
concerning the grading work undertaken by Mr. Hertzenberg on the property
adjacent to the Willow Grove Condominiums at 35 Nathan Lane. I met with
you at the site on Wednesday evening, October 5, to discuss the work which
had been undertaken.
As we discussed, the grading work performed, in order to build a home
immediately north of the Willow Grove Condominiums, was in accordance with
the City's approvals and the plans approved when the Willow Grove
Condominium project was constructed. All of the grading work, which was
required to construct the necessary drainage ditches, is within public
drainage easements either established on Mr. Hertzenberg's property or on
the property which is now the Willow Grove Condominiums. These drainage
easements were established on the Willow Grove Condominium property before
the property was'developed.
At our meeting, I provided you a copy of the plan for each development. As
you meet with other representatives of the Condominium Association, please
let me know if you want additional information. As I stated, I could be
available to meet with the Board of Directors if they desire.
Sincerely,
Fred G. Moore, P.E.

Re: Drainage Ditch
35 Nathan Lane
Dear Mr. Mayor:
.S'E P
OF COUNSEL
WILLIAM H. OEPAFICD
DONALD L. RUOOU!S7
1924-1987
As a homeowner through my cLdominium interest at the Willow
Grove Condominiums, 35 Nathan Lane, Plymouth, I wish to bring
to your attention my individual concern with regard to property
problems.
On the north end of our condominium properties is a Willow Grove
Creek. Directly north of that is Quaker Lane. West of Quaker
Lane and abutting our northern property line is a parcel owned
by Bruce Hertzenberg.
Between the properties owned by our Association and Mr. Hertzenberg
is this ditch. Mr. Hertzenberg this year effected a substantial
change in that ditch by expanding it; and we understand that that
entire change was effected on Willow Grove properLy.no
Mr. Hertzenberg has explained that the city engineer gave him
authority to make the changes, including the elimination of one
or more trees. We, of course, contend that the City Engineer has
no authority to do that. It was then explained by a person at
a recent meeting that Mr. Hertzenberg has suggested or stated that
the City Council authorized the changes of the drainage ditch.
It is not clear that Mr. Hertzenberg actually said that. I would
.like, however, to find out what are the facts with regard to
whether the Mayor or the City Council authorized either the city
engineer or the homeowner to change our drainage ditch. I would
The Honorable Virgil Schneider
September 27, 1988
Page Two
also like to find out whether the city engineer had any authority
to ' authorize a change and if. so, did he authorize the change of
the drainage ditch.
I would like to find out also whether the City Council or the
city engineer authorized Mr. Hertzenberg to remove the culvert
that was installed in the drainage ditch on or right near the
Willow Grove property.
The city engineer should also be able to advise us as to whether
all of the changes with regard to the drainage ditch were installed
or effecte'd entirely on Willow Gfove property.
We would like to know whether Mr. Hertzenberg requested any
authorization to construct his own drainage ditch, whether he
requested authority to change the drainage ditch on Willow Gfove
property, and whether the City Council or the city engineer acted
in that regard.
We would like to know whether the drainage ditch was entirely on
Willow Grove property before the changes made by Mr. Hertzenberg
in 1988.
We would like to know whether Mr. Hertzenberg had caused to be
made a survey about the ditch with regard to fixing the location of
property lines and the boundaries of the drainage ditch.
It would be important to note whether there are any easements
or commitments by the Willow Grove Association or its predecessors
in title with regard to authorizing anyone or any governmental
body to authorize any changes in the drainage ditch.
I assume that if the city engineer made any authorizations to Mr.
Hertzenberg, those authorizations would have to be in writing.
I, therefore, request a copy of every document from the City
Government of Plymouth in regard to any governmental authorizations
to Mr. Hertzenberg as real or ostensible authority to make any
changes with regard to the drainage ditch on the Willow Grove
property.
I realize that this is a complicated matter. I can state with
reasonable assurance that there are many persons residing at the
Willow Grove condominiums and that many of them are very much
interested in the resolution of this problem. I would be more
than happy to visit with any member, of City Government, but I

FROM Eric J. Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: PARKERS LAKE PAVILION
On Saturday, October 1, the first annual Plymouth Volksmarch was held at
Parkers Lake Park. One hundred sixty-five individuals registered and partook
in the walk. The youngest was 1 and the oldest 76. The building provided an
outstanding focal point for us to use as a registration headquarters and for
the sale of concession items, etc. We believe this is one event that will be
expanded in future years to become very popular with Plymouth residents.

SUBJECT: MANAGEMENT PLAN REQUIRED BY CITY CODE FOR AMUSEMENT CENTER
Dear Mr. Begin:
At their October 3 meeting, the City Council deferred action on your request
for an Amusement Center License and Conditional Use Permit. The purpose of
the deferral was to afford you the opportunity to prepare a management plan
which was in conformance with the City Code and responsive to City Council
concerns.
To assist you in developing a management plan which is comprehensive and
responsive to the City's concerns, I have assembled a number of requirements
of the Plymouth City Code and have set them out below. Your management plan
should address each of these issues, indicating how you would handle each.
At minimum, the management plan should contain the following:
1. Hours of Operation - The management plan should show the hours of
operation in conformance with the City Code. I have attached the
applicable provisions.
2. House Rules - The management plan should set forth the house rules
which address patron -related issues including how yoru supervisors
will deal with the following:
a. Curfew
b. Abusive behavior or language
c. Destruction of property
d. Loiteri ' ng in and around the facility
e. Use of alcohol and tobacco
f. School-age children in the facility during school hours
g. Noise of vehicles or reckless driving in parking lot
3. Posting Requirements - The house rules and hours of operation should
also be posted in minimum one -inch letters permanently within the
facilty within view of all patrons.
While not required by ordinance, it would be useful for you to post
the disciplinary procedures as well, so that patrons are aware both
of your expectations and of the actions you will take in the event
of infraction.

4. Disciplin ry Procedures - The management plan should address what
disciplinary procedures will be taken against a patron for infrac-
tion of any of the rules. Disciplinary procedures should be identi-
fied . Your existing procedures already provides some direction in
this area.
5. Occupant Load - The maximum occupant load should be posted within
the f acility. The Fire Chief can provide you with this infor-
mation. The management plan should also reflect the means of
enforcement of the maximum occupant load and of methods for
eliminating fire hazards.
6. Supervisors - The management plan should indicate how many
supervisors are expected to operate the facility at any one time.
You should also identify the credentials of the lead supervisor who
has a retail management degree. Emphasis should be placed upon the
supervisor's experience in crowd control procedures, dealing with
adolescent behavior, first aid, self-defense training and other
appropriate credentials. You should also identify what annual
training you will provide your supervisors to ensure that they are
capable of coping with the types of situations that could occur at
your facility.
7. Smoking - The management plan should address the question of whether
the environment will be smoke-free or if and where smoking will be
allowed under the Clean Indoor Act.
8. Supervision of Parking Lot - The plan should set forth how the
exterior parking lot will be supervised during the evening hours and
particularly at closing.
9. Calls for Public Safety Services - The management plan should
address how you will minimize calls to the Public Safety Department
and at what threshold you would intend to add an off-duty police
officer as a security officer in addition to your supervisors to
control the number of public safety calls originating from your
business.
For your information, we have sent a letter to Domino's Pizza
indicating the Council's concern about the level of public safety
calls from their facility. The Mayor has previously provided you
with a copy of this letter. You may want to ask the City to share
with you its quarterly report to the Council on public safety
activities at your facility so that you will be working with the
same data we are using.
By addressing the above issues, I believe that you will substantially
enhance your management plan and will have responded to the City Council's
direction from the October 3 meeting. For your information, I am attaching
an unapproved copy of the minutes from the October 3, 1988 meeting.
Mr. Greg Begin

plan no later than noon, Monday, October 17. If you would like to get-
together prior to completing the revised plan let me know.

that both a Conditional Use Permit and Amusement Center License Item 7-C
are required, and one is invalid without the other.
Assistant Boyles stated that The Cotton Club opened for
operation pending approval of an Amusement Center License in
late June, and he cited police calls from Cottonwood Plaza
during that time.
Mayor Schneider noted that five police calls are directly
related to the operation of The Cotton Club.

progressive discipline may be taken by the Council if necessary
for public safety.
Greg Begin7 applicant, stated that no drinking or smoking is
allowed in The Cotton Club. There has been a security person,
hired by The Cotton Club, on duty in the parking lot for
approximately the last month, seven days per week from 10:00
P.m. to 6:00 a.m. if people are seen with alcohol or smell of
alcohol, they are asked to leave the premises.
Councilmember Sisk questioned at what point are the number of
police calls to an establishment excessive.
Mr. Begin stated he didn't know what that limit should be but
the license must be renewed annually and the Council has the
authority to withhold the license.
Councilmember Vasiliou reminded the Council of a previous
amusement center situation which was handled by dealing with
problems and adding requirements as problems occurred. She
stated that not only the number of police calls, but also the
severity of the calls needs to be considered.
Mayor Schneider mentioned inadequacies in the management plan
which is required for the license. He noted that the submitted
plan is more of an operations plan and that more information on
the supervisory personnel and credentials to deal with problem
situations needs to be addressed, as well as hours of operation,
-ondition requiring
the hiring of an off-duty police
for on-site security.
was made by Councilmember Sisk, seconded by Councilmember
Ricker, to approve the Amusement Center license with the
conditions in the proposed resolution, with the additional
condition that a level of 50 police calls on an annual basis
would necessitate an off-duty police officer to be hired for
on-site security; 100 police calls would be reason for
reconsideration of license. These police calls must be
specifically attributable to The Cotton Club.
Mr. Begin stated that some of the current problems relate to a
pizza establishment in Cottonwood Plaza.

Mr. George F. Wilson
17140 - 14th Avenue No.
Plymouth, MN 55447
Dear Mr. Wilson:
Thank you for your letter inquiring about a traffic light on Highway 101 and
14th*Avenue North.
You are correct that the City has planned for the installation of a traffic
light at this location. However, prior to being able to install a traffic
signal, it must be justified by the increased volume of traffic at the
intersection. A previous traffic count, completed prior to the opening of
the businesses on the southeast corner, did not reflect sufficient traffic
to warrant a signal. With the opening of additional businesses in the
Johnson development, we believe the time is approaching when such a traffic
analysis will demonstrate sufficient traffic volumes.
Fred Moore has indicated that he will be contacting officials of Hennepin
County to conduct such a study in late November or early December, when
he believes traffic volumes from both business centers will be sufficient to
meet warrants. It is our intent to request the installation of the traffic
signal as soon as the warrants have been met.
Yours truly,

City of Plymouth
Plymouth, MN 55447
Dear Mr. Willis:
What has happened to the traffic light at Hwy 101 and 14th Avenue North?
It was my understanding that the light would be installed when the new center
opened. As I am sure you know that area has a very serious traffic problem. Now
we see cars trying to exit onto Hwy 101 or cross Hwy 101 to get to the other
shopping center. Visability is extreemly poor to the south as it is on my block
of 13th Avenue.
I also see the signs have been put up near Herb's Garage telling folks not to
exit and cross the west bound Cty. Road 6. Do you really expect people to obay
all those fancy signs? I sat in front of Bill's last night around 7 PM for about
5 minutes and counted 4 cars exit the shopping center and turn left and go west
on 6.
Unless the city addresses that whole intersection and Hwy 101 from County Road
6 to the Wayzata border we will be at great risk for a serious accident. With
two schools, two major shopping centers, -a bank, three churchs plus other stores
all within a mile of each other. It bothers the heck out of me when I see kids,
people in wheelchairs trying to get across streets and know that traffic is moving
at speeds over the posted limits. Yet I have never seen a police radar unit, nor
do I see police following school buses (people pass every day stopped buses).
I think the city ignores the problem. You have not even addressed the problem.
You tell the people who live in the area that traffic lights will be installed
yet now the centers are.open and no lights.
I hope the day never comes that a semi boardsides a car or school bus in that
area, but I am afraid that is what is going to have to happen before you folks
at city hall do what needs to be done.
Sincerely yours,
Geoffge �Filson
